This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357/?tag=offsitoftimfe-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The 4-Hour Workweek</a>.&nbsp;Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what&nbsp;wouldn’t&nbsp;I change? What stands the test of time and hasn’t lost any potency?&nbsp;This episode features three of the most important chapters from the audiobook of&nbsp;The 4-Hour Workweek. The audiobook, produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, is available wherever audiobooks are sold. You can find it on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/The-4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-9-5-Live-Anywhere-and-Join-the-New-Rich-Expanded-and-Updated-Audiobook/B0031AS3BE?tag=offsitoftimfe-20"
